Another Year Where the Auth Can't Get It Right:
Tonight's Budget Hearing Canceled

Posted September 19, 2016 04:35 am

The
law may have caught up with Mr. Berry. He
has given no reason for canceling today's
budget hearing and rescheduling it to the
26th. He continues to refuse to use the LSHA
calendar to advise the public.

COLUMBIA COUNTY/LAKE CITY, FL – Lake Shore Hospital
Authority Manager Jackson P. "Jack" Berry appears to
have dropped the ball again. Tonight's budget hearing
was suddenly canceled. Manager Berry did not advise the
Observer. It is not clear who or what he advised.

As of Monday morning, there is no evidence on the
Authority website that the Final Budget Hearing was
canceled and rescheduled.

A little blurb buried in the print daily on Sunday
stated that the hearing, the announcement didn't state
that it was a budget hearing, had been rescheduled. The
paper did not write when it received the notice.

The itty-bitty notice stated, "The hearing is now set
for Sept. 26 at 5:15 p.m., according to LSHA Executive
Director Jack Berry."

LSHA 8 (clockwise from top):
Koby Adams - political operative and Liz Porter's Chief of
staff
Brandon Biel - latest Scott appointee and a young republican
on the move
Dr. Waseem Khan - a board member who
lives out of the county
Janet Creel - real estate broker
Ron Foreman - father of the County Atny
Tim Murphy - a nice guy, talented welder, clueless about
government
Board Chairwoman Lory Chancy - her main job appears to be
not to answer questions and to protect Columbia County's
legendary political operative, Jackson P. "Jack" Berry (in
the middle).
